There’s something so simple and beautiful about a vanilla cake with frosting. Don’t get me wrong, I L.O.V.E chocolate cakes, but I have to be in the mood, were as I can eat a slice of butter cake every single day if I would let myself.! This cake is so moist and flavorful and […]
Emma turned one last Saturday, September 16th and my husband and I made her a very special birthday cake. As soon as I started thinking about celebrating her first birthday I knew I wanted to bake her a cake from scratch. I want her to always cherish this recipe and hopefully pass it down to […]
It’s been a little colder than usual in Southern California the past few days. And by colder I mean it went from 70 degrees to 65. I know, what a joke. We are so spoiled here, it’s crazy! But even that small change in temperature made me crave a big bowl of soup, so I […]
My husband is the handiest man ever and I’m the luckiest gal ever because I think something up and he makes it happen. This pallet mini garden was actually his idea so I can’t take any credit for it but I did help pick out the herbs. All it took was one pallet, two wood […]
I’m telling you…try this drink! My husband and I spent a month in Europe visiting family, travelling, enjoying all the wonders, and along the way we discovered this delicious work of art. Our amazing friends in Vienna made this one night after a long day of sightseeing and I can’t even tell you how delicious […]
When you think of muffins, you rarely think of savory, but I wanted to prove that a savory muffin can be just as delicious as a sweet one. I definitely succeeded with this recipe. I love the taste and smell of biscuits and baking these reminded me of that smell. The sauteed onion and mushrooms […]
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved Biscoff cookies. They’re pretty much the perfect crunchy cookie in my eyes. If you haven’t tried Biscoff cookies you’re in for a real treat when you do. I can’t get enough of this dessert, I was pretty close to licking the glass clean it was so […]
One thing I’ve learned from being a mom to Emma is that she constantly wants to be challenged and learning. She’s happiest when we are doing something new and she loves to be outdoors. Toys are great for keeping kids busy, and educational ones are even better, but there’s nothing she loves more than being […]
I know it’s probably so strange that I made a hearty soup mid summer, but I have good reason, honest! I came down with something last week and it pretty much put me on bed rest the entire week. My husband was in town and he took such good care of me, I don’t know […]
During my middle school years I attended the American International School of Bucharest and there was a little Belgian waffle shop down the street that I used to walk to with my friends after school. They had the most delicious Belgian Pearl Sugar Waffles I’ve ever tasted! The waffles were slightly crunchy on the […]
Ummm…these cookies are so good, I can’t even explain it! For the hundredth time, I love cinnamon! It doesn’t matter it you eat dairy or not…these cookies are AMAZING! I used my sugar cookie recipe for this and just substituted coconut oil for the butter and a ripe mashed banana for the egg and added […]
These delectable little cookies are the perfect addition to your afternoon cup of coffee! I call them Cappuccino Cookies because they have a slight coffee taste from the coffee extract but a milky taste from the white chocolate chips. You can even forget the cup of coffee and have […]
I picked up an amazing find at the store last week and I’m so excited to share! Pure date syrup from Date Lady. The second I spotted it my mind started going a mile a minute thinking up recipes. These little crostini are the perfect appetizer for a party, or if you’re like me you’ll […]
I’ve wanted to try a cinnamon pull apart bread for the longest time and I’m so glad I finally did. After doing some research on cinnamon roll recipes, I decided to turn one into a pull apart recipe. The little balls of dough are so soft and chewy and the cinnamon flavor is amazing! If […]
